The van actually belongs to busboybob who is a less active member on here.
He got the van from an old German mechanic who I beleive imported it as a delivery spec bare bones van,did a pretty nice camper conversion, and got it up to 50,000 miles. Bob bought it, and found it desperately slow, as well as having running problems after a shop seriously failed some repairs in Oregon
(fuel tank loose, cut and crossed the big radiator hoses,etc).He ordered a D24TIC from the import place in LA , was looking for some parts info here, and realized I live 40 miles away. Since he never had a turbo or diesel before this, I agreed to help out with the install.
Yes we are required since 1968 to have side markers. I remember commenting on how 'those look just like Chevy truck lenses'.
